When I was young I could eat from the Chinese take out and one of my favorite dishes was the Chinese omelette with sweet sauce. But since my allergies came I can't do that anymore. And that really isn't that much fun. I could always look forward to eat it: a little rice, some Chinese omelette with lots of sauce, which really sounds great, isn't it.

Making the Chinese omelette with sauce was actually quite simple. Of course I was in need of eggs, but just baking the egg with the stuffing gaves so much more flavor. I can't add mushrooms (because of my allergies), so I let wisely go (but if you fond of them use them, because it's a great addition) and I stuffed the egg with carrot, leeks and beansprouts.
The sauce I made of a bit of chicken broth, soy sauce (sweet) and tomato ketchup that I thickened with some potato flour (but you can use cornstarch as well). Let it bake in the frying pan and finally, after all these years, there was again Chinese egg with sauce on my plate. And ... I loved it. It tasted as good as I can remember. And I'm so glad that Sandra thought of this challenge has otherwise it had perhaps been some time before I made it.
One of my tips is that you place the omelette in the sauce for just a few minutes before you go eat. The flavor of the sauce will enhance the flavor of the egg and that makes it even better!
It's a good taste!
